Selah Lyrics - Lauryn Hill

Nothing can be done against the truth 

No matter how we remain in denial 

Wasting time, replacing time with each and every excuse 

But that will only work a little while 

Coping with despair, knowing you're not there 

Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool 

So I blame it on the sun 

Run away from everyone 

Hoping to escape this ridicule 

Trapped in misery 

Wrapped so miserably 

And his deception I wear it like a skin 

Dying to maintain 

While I keep trying to explain 

A heart that never loved me to begin with 

Oh, I'm such a mess 

I have no choice but to confess 

That I have been desperately trying to belong 

Lying to myself and everybody else 

Refusing to admit my right was wrong 

And then he came, Selah 

And it means praise and meditation 

And then he came, Selah 

And it means did you think about that 

And then he came, Selah 

And it means praise and meditation 

And then he came, Selah 

And it means that you see 

How beautiful his fruits still in denial of its roots 

My guilty heart behaves so foolishly 

This treason from within that reasons with my sin 

Won't be happy till it sees the death of me 

Selfishly addicted to a life that I depicted 

Conflicted 'cuz it's not reality 

All that's left of me, oh, I beg you desperately 

'Cuz me to agree for what I know is best for me 

Please save me from myself 

I need to save me from myself 

Please save me from myself 

Please save me from myself so I can hear you 

The choices that I make have been nothing but mistakes 

What a waste of useless space, should I die before I wake 

And all of my religion, I've fortified this prison 

Obligated to obey, that the man's bad decision 

Please save me from myself 

I need you to save me from myself 

Please save me from myself 

Please save me from myself so I can hear you 

And then he came, Selah 

And it means praise and meditation 

And then he came, Selah 

And it means did you think about that 

And he came, Selah 

And it means meditation 

And then he came, Selah 

And it means that it's you 

And then it came 

And then he came 

And he came and he came 

And then he and then he came
